The Shipkiller

Plot Summary:

"The Shipkiller," a novel of love and revenge set in the high seas, is considered to be one of the best maritime thrillers ever written. Described as "an odyssey of revenge that embraces the distant waters of the world, from the titanic storms of the South Atlantic to the oil-slicked reaches of the Persian Gulf," the novel follows one man determined to win at sea the justice he has been denied on land. Acclaimed author Robert Ludlum once called the novel "absolutely riveting, a marvelously taut, brilliantly told story of revenge and the sea and the dark forces that can shape the human condition."
